Lyrics
THE MERMAIDS' CALL
( The Mermaids' Sigh)
Take the Mermaids' hands, listen to their voices, they will bring you to the deep where old Atlantis sleeps.
​
Follow our voices beneath the waves. A city sleeps where life once thrived.
The coral whispers secrets made of crystal spires and pyramids.
Lost in the tides, Lost in the night, echoes of dreams that still ignite.
[Chorus]
Atlantis Atlantis, a name the sea can't forget
Atlantis Atlantis, your sun will never set
Orichalcum streets and sapphire skies, a kingdom fallen drowned in a night.
The ocean holds what men forgot, a thousand truths hidden from them.
Time can’t rewind, time doesn’t care,
But your heartbeat still drums to the rhythm of ancient tales
[Chorus]
Atlantis Atlantis, a name the sea can't forget.
Atlantis Atlantis, your sun will never set
Orichalcum palaces on the hills, a kingdom fallen will rise again.
The ocean holds no more secrets, a thousand truths will be revealed.
Time can’t rewind, time doesn’t care,
But your heartbeat still drums to the rhythm of ancient tales.
[Chorus]
Atlantis, Atlantis, a name the sea can't forget.
Atlantis Atlantis, we will now tell you the true story
of a kingdom that rose, fell, and rose again!
​​
​
​
EMPIRE OF PEACE
Prince Ea from the Annakhim decides to build a safe kingdom on the Atlantic continent of Absura, away from the raging wars of Enlil.
​
Let’s set our sails on the ocean of Ki
To the island of Absura where dreams run free
We'll build a haven where no anger can rise
Under starlit skies with hope in our eyes
[Chorus]
Empire of peace on the waves of the blue
A sanctuary for me and for you
Far from the storms of a wrathful decree
Our hearts will unite on the ocean of Ki
The winds will guide us through the cosmic mist
Where the stars whisper secrets that cannot resist
We’ll plant our flags where the universe bends
A new world begins where the struggle ends
The galaxies watch as we open the door
To colonies seeking a haven and more
No fear will touch us no hate can prevail
Together we thrive as we set the new sail
[Chorus]
Empire of peace on the waves of the blue
A sanctuary for me and for you
Far from the storms of a wrathful decree
Our hearts will unite on the ocean of Ki
Absura will glow like a beacon of light
A home for the lost in the infinite night
The stars will bear witness as history's made
A legacy forged that will never fade
​
​
​
THE ALTEANS HAVE ARRIVED
32.400 BCE - A contingent of Alteans from the Intergalactic Confederation, called by Ea as an enforcement, arrive on Absura and create the capital city of Atlaa, that they will build upon and around their space ark. The legendary Atlantis is born.
​
Across the void they sailed so far
Through nebula trails and a myriad stars
A thousand lights, a thousand dreams
Bound to the shores of Absura’s streams
[Chorus]
The Alteans have arrived with crystals burning bright
Their ark has kissed the sand on Absura’s western land
They carve the sky with silver spires
Their hearts are sparks of ancient fires
The winds hum low, the waves bow near
The echoes of their age ring clear
From galaxies unknown to claim this shore as home
[Chorus]
The Alteans have arrived with crystals burning bright
Their ark has kissed the sand on Absura’s western land
Oh the power they bring In the crystals they sing
A force to shape the earth, a new world given birth
​
​
​
CRYSTAL OF ATLAA
The Alteans brought with them the Fire Crystals, power generators harvesting the energy of the stars. They were set inside of giant pyramids serving as harvesters. It powered the whole continent and its colonies but eventually... generated envy.
​
The crystal hums a golden tune, it drinks the sun, a burning glow
Pyramids awaken, ancient stones, a world reborn, a power unknown
The light is bending, the air is thin, a voice is calling deep within
[Chorus]
Oh Atlaa the skies ignite, the crystal shines eternal light
Oh Atlaa the sun's embrace awakens time, dissolves all space
The sands now shift, the winds obey, a thousand years gone in a day
The crystal pulses a heartbeat vast, echoes of futures echoes of past
Rays collide, the heavens break, reality quivers, the earth will quake
A prism born, a world remade, the crystal's gift, the debts are paid
[Chorus]
Oh Atlaa the skies ignite, the crystal shines eternal light
Oh Atlaa the sun's embrace awakens time, dissolves all space
​
​
​
THE ORICHALCUM PALACES OF ATLANTIS
Orichalcum was unique to Atlantis; a precious metal composed of copper, zinc and gold, and sometimes mixed with melted limestone to create the most mesmerizing marbles.
Beneath the waves where the whispers sleep
In shadows deep where secrets keep
A gleaming throne of fiery gold, a story ancient yet untold
[Chorus]
The orichalcum palaces rise under endless sapphire skies
A kingdom lost in a shimmering haze, dancing light through an ageless maze
Columns carved with stars and flame
A world forgotten yet still it came
Echoes hum where the tide will sing
Of a city drowned and a dreaming king
Crystal domes, the oceans bow, can you hear them calling now
[Chorus]
The orichalcum palaces rise under endless sapphire skies
A kingdom lost in a shimmering haze, dancing light through an ageless maze
Time is a thief but it left this jewel, a secret world where the waters rule
A fleeting glimpse, a fleeting sound, Atlantis lives where none are bound
​​
​
​
LEMURIA
27.600 BCE - Ea, king of Absura, offers new territories in Atlantis for refugees from horrendous wars that have ravaged the continent of Lemuria in the Pacific Ocean. Unfortunately generating later territorial conflicts with local colonies, known as the "First Atlantean Wars".
​
Great fires danced on Lemuria's plains
Ashes whispered of battles and chains
A thousand voices cried in the rain
But no one heard their pain
[Chorus]
To Atlantis we sail, to Atlantis we go
Where the waters shimmer and the warm winds blow
A king's mercy lights the darkest night
Atlantis calls, a beacon bright
The exiled walk with their heads held low
Footsteps heavy Hearts still aglow
Dreams of peace in the unknown flow
Where oceans cradle and rivers grow
Across the tides a promise gleams
A haven built of hopes and dreams
[Chorus]
To Atlantis we sail, to Atlantis we go
Where the waters shimmer and the warm winds blow
A king's mercy lights the darkest night
Atlantis calls, a beacon bright
​
Oh Absura's king with an open hand
You’ve made a home of your sacred land
The weary shall rest, the lost shall stand
In the heart of Atlantis, the promised sand
​
​
​​
​
WHITE SHORES OF ABSURA
Let us take a stroll on the white strands of Absura...
​
I remember walking on Absura's white shores, feet sinking in shimmery sands
My heart on the horizon, my soul in love with a king
Seagulls screaming eastward a horizon so wide
The pyramids hum softly their power in my back
The city behind me Atlaa on its ark
A floating kingdom a light in the dark
[Chorus]
White shores, white shores, they hold my past
Rings of lands, ancient hands, shadows cast
I see them all, I hear their call
White shores, white shores, where it began for us all
The rings of lands orbit in a delicate spin
Crowded colonies where whispers thin
Old kingdoms etched in the cosmic dust
Dreams of forever yet metal turns to rust
Our golden ships sail on, through stars we fly
But the shores stay still beneath the sky
Echoes of laughter they linger they stay
Absura's sands will never wash away
[Chorus]
White shores, white shores, they hold my past
Rings of lands, ancient hands, shadows cast
I see them all, I hear their call
White shores, white shores, where it began for us all
​
​
​
THE MARKET OF ATLANTIS
Global commercial hub, Absura and the Altean capital city of Atlaa had legendary markets that even the wildest imaginations could not fathom.
​
Under the turquoise sky so wide
Ships docked like dreams in the rolling tide
Spices and silks, treasures untold
The market hums with stories bold
[Chorus]
Oh the market of Atlantis sings
With gold and jade and silver rings
From every shore the wonders flow
A world of magic row by row
Perfume of saffron Mango and clove
Echoes of songs from lands I don't know
A peacock feather, a tiger's gaze
A maze of marvels, a fiery haze
I barter with time for treasures that shine
[Chorus]
Oh the market of Atlantis sings
With gold and jade and silver rings
From every shore the wonders flow
A world of magic row by row
A ruby whispers in tongues of flame
A map to nowhere, no two the same
Laughter like waves, the heartbeat grows
Atlantis breathes where the ocean glows
​
​
HYPERBOREA
14.000 BCE - The Hyperborean civilization, spread across north Atlantic and northern European areas, sees a decline due to Enlil's factions reccurent attacks. A group establishes a colony in Atlantis, already crowded. The Hyperborean heritage will also -mainly- survive through a scattering of tribes all over Europe, with the strongest hub located in the Carpathian mountains and north Black Sea areas. Influenced by the arrival of the new settlers, a shift occurs in the Atlantean societies, creating further tensions between classes.
​
The frost has cracked, the winds have cried
Hyperborea lost to time to pride
Snow-heavy crowns now stripped now gone
Their kingdom fades with the breaking dawn
Across the seas a beacon burns
Atlantis waits The tide now turns
[Chorus]
We will make space, we will share the fire
Cultures blend lift hearts higher
Hyperborea’s song won’t fade won’t die
In Atlantis it will rise, it will rise again !
Ships of sorrow on endless waves
Through misty trails and ocean graves
But hope sails strong in whispers loud
Atlantis calls a fond welcome
The stars will guide, the storm will part
A union forged, a beating heart
[Chorus]
We will make space, we will share the fire
Cultures blend lift hearts higher
Hyperborea’s song won’t fade won’t die
In Atlantis it will rise, it will rise again !
​
​
​
THE TRIDENT'S GUARD
Eye in the storm of wars ravaging the rest of the planet, Ea keeps Atlantis as a safe haven of peace, under the guard of his sacred weapon, the Trishula, which power is so intense that it was named the"Destroyer of Worlds". Will the Trident's Guard resist to Enlil's obsession to truly destroy the world? History shall tell...
​
Wars ignite and shadows crawl across the lands where kingdoms fall
But Ea stands, his trident gleams a shield of hope, a realm of dreams
Ki whispers soft through the ancient tide
Atlantis glows When fears subside
Refugees, they find the shore, a haven safe, a silent roar
[Chorus]
Crystals shine , the stars align
Atlantis guarded through space and time
Enlil strikes, his wrath does fail
The trident's light will always prevail
The stars above they guide the way
Their voices hum where shadows play
Enlil rages, storms collide
But the crystals hum, they will not hide
The people chant in the glowing mist
Their hearts ignite, the truth persists.
​
​
​​
RISE OF THE COLONIES
10.700 BCE - Enlil cannot destroy Ea's kingdom of Atlantis so he sends infiltrators in the heart of the Atlantean colonies, mounting the lower classes against the Atantean power. They push them to upraise and take control of the advanced technologies, and conduct their own genetic experiments to compete with the Altean scientists and create an army of super-creatures to defeat the city of Atlaa. Enlil's infiltrators then turn colonies against each other and collapse the complete Altean society from within. This episode is known as "The second Atlantean wars".
​
Beyond the waves where the sun gleams
The colonies stir, Their voices breach
A thousand whispers, A growing storm
Against the city, Against the norm
Enlil’s shadow creeps Unseen
Threads of betrayal sewn between
[Chorus]
Rise Oh Atlantis! Rise and roar!
Crystals of the stars: what we’re fighting for!
Rise Oh Atlantis! Take the skies!
Let the city of Atlaa fight against its demise!
From the deep sky Machines ignite Blazing through the endless night
The star people gave gifts, now humans turned it to greed
The colonies of Atlaa consumed by need
The infiltrators laugh, their schemes unfold
The colonies’ hearts are fierce and bold
They'll claim the crystals, they'll claim the light
For the anger burns brighter than the darkest night
[Chorus]
Rise Oh Atlantis! Rise and roar!
Crystals of the stars: what we’re fighting for!
Rise Oh Atlantis! Take the skies!
Let the city of Atlaa fight against its demise!
​
​
​
TRISHULA THE GOLDEN TRIDENT
Ea will not let Enlil destroy Atlantis. He takes the Trishula in hands and defends his land.
​
Golden spear held high in my hand
Boundless light sweeping through the land
Plasma strikes through the heavens' roar
The golden trident will settle the score
[Chorus]
I will not falter I will not yield
With Trishula blazing the ultimate shield
Crackling fire and a deafening sound
The thunderbolt of gods will bring darkness down
Worlds will bow beneath its blaze
As shadows fall and clear their haze
A cosmic dance in the starlit night
The golden trident ignites its might
[Chorus]
I will not falter I will not yield
With Trishula blazing the ultimate shield
Crackling fire and a deafening sound
The thunderbolt of gods will bring darkness down
Born from chaos forged in flame
A blade of legends speaks its name
Through darkest voids through endless skies
Trishula shines as hope’s true prize
​
[Chorus]
I will not falter I will not yield
With Trishula blazing the ultimate shield
Crackling fire and a deafening sound
The thunderbolt of gods will bring darkness down
​
​
​
BATTLE OF BROTHERS
Half-brothers Enki (Ea) and Enlil, sons of Annakh Emperor Anu, fight for Humanity. Reptilian Enlil wants to own the whole world in servitude, while Enki fights to protect the rights of the humans of Earth.
​
Two brothers born under the crimson sky
One raised to heal the other raised to lie
Sacred blood pumping in their veins so bold
One heart of fire the other's reptile cold
Beneath the shadows of the ancient tree
Ninhursag whispered a secret eternally
Roots tangled deep in the crumbling ground
A mystery buried never meant to be found
[Chorus]
Oh the battle rages, the clash of kin's fate
One fights for love, the other for hate
Beneath the tree where the secret sleeps
Destiny flows like the river's deep
Storms howled above as they took their stand
Blades of truth clashed with greed's cruel hand
The earth shook as the heavens did cry
Two brothers locked in a battle to die
A light shone down through the tangled leaves
The sacred tree wept for what it perceives
A tale of brothers both cursed and divine
The secret revealed the serpent's design
[Chorus]
Oh the battle rages, the clash of kin's fate
One fights for love, the other for hate
Beneath the tree where the secret sleeps
Destiny flows like the river's deep
​
​
​
​
THE SEVEN ELDERS
Here is the story of the Apkallu, the seven teams of Atlantean scientists who migrated to surrounding lands to hide their technologies and knowledge in secret halls of records. These places were protected by a high density shield, that would unlock when humanity would reach wisdom.
​
Seven wise men walked the sands, Wisdom heavy in their hands.
They carried light through ancient lands, a secret buried deep.
Keys to power keys to flame, locked in halls without a name.
[Chorus]
The seven elders left the shore
Atlantis whispers evermore
Halls of records keys untold
Waiting for the brave and bold
Mountains high and oceans wide, they hid the truth where time could bide.
A riddle carved a path to guide, the future through the dark.
Knowledge sleeps beneath the stone, the halls will rise when we have grown.
[Chorus]
The seven elders left the shore
Atlantis whispers evermore
Halls of records keys untold
Waiting for the brave and bold
​
​
​
THE WRATH OF ENLIL
9.600 BCE - Enlil has had enough of Humanity; he decided to drown them all because he cannot stand anymore the loud voice of their rebellion against his despicable servitude. All ancients texts on Earth tell the same story: Enlil summons a council of the gods, to announce his decision. However, Enki (Ea) opposes him and tries to save Humanity...
​
Thunder cracks the sky, his voice is the storm.
Enlil’s rage, a fire that growls in fear.
He calls the gods, a council of might,
To drown the world, to snuff out the light.
Too loud! Too wild! Too bold! They cry!
Their songs of independence pierce the devil's ears
[Chorus]
But Enki whispers, whispers to the deep,
Save the innocents while the old devil sleep.
He rebels, he fights, a flood can’t drown their voice!
Human hearts will rise, we’ll never be the same!
The rivers rise, the clouds are black,
The gods march forward, no turning back
But Enki’s hand a secret plan to guard the seed of woman and man
Oh Enki! The rebel! Hiding hope in the shadow of grief!
He defies the heavens, stands alone, a shield for the voices, a heart of gold.
[Chorus]
But Enki whispers, whispers to the deep,
Save the innocents while the old devil sleep.
He rebels, he fights, a flood can’t drown their voice!
Human hearts will rise, we’ll never be the same!
​
​
​​
THE CRYSTAL AND THE QUEEN
9.600 BCE - Enlil sends a meteor crash on the northern ice cap, shifting the poles and flooding the whole world. The queen of Atlantis chooses not to take the last evacuation convoy and instead save the crystal heart of the Altean space ark under the capital city of Atlaa. She entrusts it to a soldier and asks him to bring it to the Altean homeworld in the galaxy NGC 7331, where she will meet him after she dies and reincarnates there.
​
The queen stood tall as the waves drew near
She saved the light, the crystal clear
Heart of Atlaa in the ark below
She spoke to the soldier her only desire:
“Take this crystal heart, it holds the consciousness of our ark
It is a great power the dark must not have!
Take it far to Altea beyond the stars!”
[Chorus]
O soldier Fly, the skies will break!
Carry the crystal for Atlantis’ sake, to Altea!
In a field of gold I will meet you there
As his ship took off, a white pod like a shooting star
The tides rose fast, she stood alone
No time to flee, no path to air. Atlantis fell but she was there.
[Chorus]
O soldier run, the skies will break!
Carry the crystal for Atlantis’ sake to Altea!
Near the high city I will meet you there
The ocean swallowed the throne, the hall.
Yet her light still shines through the depths of it all.
The crystal’s song, a voice so pure
A queen’s last hope her hove endures
​
​
​
BENEATH THE WAVES
Absura calls !
​
Beneath the waves in endless blue a city sleeps with secrets true.
Shadows dance on coral graves, the song of silence now it braves.
[Chorus]
Atlantis rise the depths dissolve
What time forgot what tides resolve
Awake the children of the sea
Absura calls remember me
The ocean whispered tales untold of heroes lost and cities bold
In slumber deep their voices fade but now the sun revives their shade
From shattered halls and ruins vast, the echoes reach the present past
Heed the call oh restless souls, the tide it comes the surge it rolls
[Chorus]
Atlantis rise the depths dissolve
What time forgot what tides resolve
Awake the children of the sea
Absura calls remember me
Remember Atlaa ancient call I wish I could have saved you all
Through ebb and flow your tales unfold Atlantis rise let truth be bold
​
​
WAKE UP CHILDREN OF THE TIDE
Wake up children of the tide
​
From the deep where shadows lie echoed dreams that never die
Ancient voices call again whispers carried on the wind
[Chorus]
Atlantis rise from the gloom below
Hearts of fire let your spirits show
Rising tides we won’t forget
What was lost in the ocean’s net
Wake up children of the tide, ascend from where the truth resides
All the sleepers now take flight through the currents into light
Golden ruins etched with pain, silent walls that sang in vain
The echoes scream we must defend a world reborn from this long end
[Chorus]
Atlantis rise from the gloom below
Hearts of fire let your spirits show
Rising tides we won’t forget
What was lost in the ocean’s net
Atlaa calls from waters deep secrets buried while we sleep
Legends etched in ocean’s skin, awake my kin your fight begins!
​
​
​​
ATLANTIS RISE
Atlantis calls rise from the wave Forgotten truths the lost and brave Wake up sleepers breathe again...
​
The sea was still but not for long
A voice beneath pulls with its song
Crystal echoes from the deep
A thousand dreams disturbed our sleep
[Chorus]
Atlantis calls rise from the wave
Forgotten truths the lost and brave
Wake up sleepers breathe again
The ocean hums a sweet amen
Children of Absura now arise
Through hidden tides and moonlit skies
Your silent songs from ages past
Now break the curse and bridge the vast
The ocean whispers Atlaa's name
Through shifting sands through sacred flame
I saw her light her endless glow
A tale the stars will always know
[Chorus]
Atlantis calls rise from the wave
Forgotten truths the lost and brave
Wake up sleepers breathe again
The ocean hums a sweet amen
I couldn't save you each and all
But hear me now beneath this thrall
The echoes hold what was suppressed
Ancient hearts now manifest
​
THIS TIME WE WIN!
The Atlanteans are back and this time, we are the tide!
​
Whispers of the deep We heard the call
Forgotten voices breaking through the wall
Atlantis drowned but never died
From the ashes of time Reborn
They rewrote the story, buried the name
But the stars remember, the Envoys are legions
Bringing back the light
[Chorus]
We rise, we rise! From the depths of the night
Like a phoenix from the deep into the light
The shadow falls and it won't win!
This time, this time we begin!
Empires of shadow, their towers will fall.
We’ve seen the lies carved into their halls of shame.
Enlil’s chains can’t hold the sea.
This time we are the tide, coming back stronger!
We are the key !
They thought we were lost, dust on the page,
But memory’s fire escapes the cage
[Chorus]
We rise, we rise! From the depths of the night
Like a phoenix from the deep into the light
The shadow falls and it won't win!
This time, this time we begin!
Again!
